You should search the archives of c.l.l, both have been discussed many
times.

I have used LTK in the past with SBCL. Fairly easy to use, but looks
like something from the 1980s on my setup. But it looks like we can
use Tile now, see this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/browse_thread/
thread/30e1be3a6c7d5b8b/13594e3c3816d69b
I haven't got around to trying SBCL+ltk+Tile yet though.

I like SBCL, and this is what I prefer to use, but it's very difficult to create gui's, and apparently these two options make this easy. If someone can comment on it I'll appreciated.

A venue like comp.lang.lisp or lispforum might be more appropriate for this question.
You might also ask what tools people have used to build GUI applications with SBCL. I've been meaning to try out CommonQt for a while ( http://common-lisp.net/project/commonqt/ ), and there are other toolkits and libraries available.
